B.E.S.T. medical systems - Diagnostic Solutions for Neurophysiology

For more than 20 years, B.E.S.T. medical systems has set the pace for computer based diagnostic equipment in Neurology and Neurophysiology. An innovative software centred approach assures user-friendly products for Neurophysiology and sleep labs. The alpha-trace line of products for digitalEEG/EMG/SLEEP applications relies on the unique Graphic Working Plan that coordinates the flow of work at your fingertips.

The Graphic Working Plan offers an intuitive interface and an up-to-date view of all activities on your alpha-trace digitalNeuroPhysiology network; in real-time and network-wide. One single click on a session icon lets you have access to all relevant patient and recording information plus direct access to prior reports.

A powerful database not only manages all patient and recording data but also keeps track of your NeuroPhysiology recordings, reports, analyses and even archive media. For different applications you may define different settings (e.g. EEG, SLEEP, AEP, VEP, SEP, NCV, EMG, etc.) with all parameters such as channels, montages, markers, filter settings, etc. preset.

Export/import tests in alpha-trace native format or EDF format (where applicable) if required. Interfaces (patient data and reports) to hospital information systems (HIS) are available.

The alpha-trace family of products features a common database and user-interface. The modular structure of the NeuroSpeed software allows you to acquire the combination of modules you currently need (e.g. EEG, SEP, NCS) with easy upgrade whenever required (e.g. EMG, SLEEP).

An alpha-trace installation may consist of a single workstation for record/review operations and may expand to a complete network with separate recording and review stations as your requirements grow.

Digital and mobile EEG system with separate review stations

The alpha-trace digitalEEG system features a digital head box on a mobile stand for EEG/polygraphy recording and review.

Separate review stations or NeuroSpeed software licenses for review as required.

Options: transportable EEG in carry case, time synchronized video, quantitative EEG (BrainMapping, Spectra, Coherence, amplitude/frequency/power trends).

Video-EEG monitoring system

The Video-EEG monitoring system features a wall-mounted digital head box with mini-head box for EEG/polygraphy monitoring and review with time synchronized video. Separate review stations or NeuroSpeed software licenses for review as required.

Options: spike/seizure detection (online/offline), quantitative EEG (BrainMapping, Spectra, Coherence, amplitude/frequency/power trends), CSA/DSA and trends.

Sleep recording - Polysomnography

The alpha-trace digitalSLEEP Polygraphy system features a digital amplifier (wall mount) with mini-head box for sleep recording and review. Separate review stations or NeuroSpeed software licenses for review as required.

Options: time synchronized video, trends, automatic/manual sleep staging/respiratory analysis/arousal analysis/PLM analysis (all according to AASM rules).

Recording and review EP / EMG system

The alpha-trace digitalNeuroGraph is an EP/EMG system featuring a digital head box on flexible arm for evoked potential (AEP, VEP, SEP), EMG and NCS recording and review. Separate review stations or NeuroSpeed software licenses for review as required.

Options: cognitive EPs (P300, P400, CNV), quantitative EEG (BrainMapping, Spectra, Coherence, amplitude/frequency/power trends).

24-hour digital recorder for ambulatory recording

The alpha-trace digitalRecorder is available for EEG or Polygraphy 24-hour recording. Seamless integration into alpha-trace WorkingPlan and data-base structure. Separate review stations or NeuroSpeed software licenses for review as required.

Options: spike/seizure detection (offline), quantitative EEG (BrainMapping, Spectra, Coherence, amplitude/frequency/power trends), CSA/DSA and trends.
